lMPROl/EMENT IN SPRING-PILLOWS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 201,911, dated April 2,1878; application filed January 22, 1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS W. OARDOZO, of Brooklyn, county of Kings,State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Spring-Pillow, ofwhich the following is a specification:

The object of my invention is to furnish a flexible and elastic metallicspring-pillow not liable to receive permanent indentation bycompression, but which will always resume its normal shape and size whenleft intact, and thus always be ready for use, without shaking or othermanipulations.

The invention will first be described in con nection with the drawing,and then pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanyin g drawing, Figure .1 rep: resents a top view of myimproved spring-pillow; and Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section of thesame, taken on the line :20 w of Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A A are two exactly similar frames, each made of four elastic andflexible strips of metal, a, or of one continuous strip of metal. At theouter edge of each side of the frame A is awire, B, attached atintervals to the frame A by lugs or other fastening b.

O are spiral springs interposed between the two frames A, one at eachcorner of the pillow, and thus supporting one of the frames A on theother at a distance apart. The rear springs O are longer than those atthe front, in order to give a forward inclination to the frames A, asseen in Fig. 2, and more comfort to the user of the pillow.

The opening in each frame A is covered by a series of wires, D, placedat suitable distances apart, and whichare provided at their ends withspiral springs d, (formed of the wires D, or attached to them,) by whichthey are connected to the end pieces a of the frame with suitable.covering, and sew the tick or covering cloth to the edge -wires B of theframes A.

I do not limit myself to the exact form of the spiral springs shown, asthat may be varied without departing from my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination of the two flexible elasticmetallic frames A A, edged with the wires 13, for attaching the tickingof the pillow with the spiral corner springs 0, connecting andsupporting the frames A A at suitable distance apart, substantially asand for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination of crossed wires D E, flat side strips a, and wirebinding B, as and for the purpose specified.
